(another day) Another country
No not the Rupert Everett film. I had dinner in Sweden last night. Not much of a visit, but it all counts. Interesting because Denmark was one of the first countries I visited alone, when I was 15 and cycled around looking at Viking ruins.
I remember being most disappointed that the Germans in Schelswig Holstein (sp) did not want to take Danish money- did they have no sense of historical perspective, or feeling of conquest from 1864!?! (O level history was never much on pragmatism).
As for Sweden, well they eat herring, it was cold (and dark), central Malmo looks like 19th century city, though I think that it is modern just outside the center. Slightly more expensive than Paris, and everyone speaks English, give or take.
Off to the center of Copenhagen.
